Check this out. First I put it in a plastic container filled with hot water and I added some liver of sulfur I put in a small piece of 2x4 in the hot water, the piece of wood was tall enough where the top of was sticking out of the water so I can place the watch on top of it. I didn't want to submerge it I thought it would give it a little more of a patina this way. I let it sit like that for two days and when I took it out the watch was complete black. Well I wasn't satisfied with it and wanted to take it to the next level, looked In the kitchen and I found some sea salt so I thought why not [emoji38]. It's been sitting like this for about 3 days now check out the pics and let me know what you think.

I'm getting a different strap for it sometime this week, that's when I'll clean it up and put it on the wrist.[emoji106]

As soon as I get the strap to come in ill clean it up and post It here. I just don't know if I should just washed it off with some warm water or use something else without disturbing the patina or the coral reef as kilo said lol

Loving my Bronzo! I was going the Liver of Sulphur route and bought some but I prefer the green look to the black patina so I think the saline solution is the way. So far I've just let it age naturally and the green is just starting to come in.

No idea what it's gonna look like but I'm assuming something like the pic above, I think when the strap comes in ill take it out take some pics for you guys and probably clean it with soap and water so it can be worn without IT turning me into a zombie [emoji1]

Hey boss what was the next step that you did in order to actually wear it? What did you use to clean the gunk off without taking the patina off?
